Control system of the conveyor for aggregate preassembly – malfunction monitoring

Reference number: 15995

Investor: ŠKODA AUTO a.s., Mladá Boleslav

Objective:The aim of the project was to create a program block for control of screw tightening during assembly of aggregates (of engines), and the output for personnel is displaying of the status of tightening in the table on the operating panel.

Chosen solution:

This is equipment which serves for transport of vehicle aggregates in the assembly facility for Fabia
vehicles (M1) at Škoda Auto a.s. Mladá Boleslav. The client’s requirement was that it be monitored whether
or not unsatisfactory or defective tightening of screws was occurring during engine assembly. As a solution,
we proposed monitoring the condition of the mechanics on assembly carriers, which influences the quality
of tightening of connections. The condition of the carriers and connections is shown in the newly programmed
table in the operating panel (QP View).

The project was completed without problems. Handover of the equipment occurred in accordance with the
client’s regulations. The client received a declaration from the supplier, a technical report and complete
project documentation. The operators and maintenance staff were properly trained.

Our main activity is supplying complete conveyor system control for automation
and the engineering industry. We are a system integrator of GE Intelligent Platforms and an authorised
